    I need advice on a cellphone

    My wife has a Samsung S20, I have the S20+ she hates her phone, im ok with mine but not thrilled.

    I went to verizon store im going to switch back to verizon, the manager said both your phones are worth 1000 each on trade and you can get2 Apple 13 pro even swap or you can get two Pixel 6s....he told me as far as android the pixel 6 blows samsung away and everyone loves it...but everyone that buys the apple 13 pro loves it.

    Neither my wife nor I ever had an apple, so neither of us know how to operate an apple and would have to learn from scratch...Now I could get the Pixel6 and she could get the apple pro free...but I wanted to get the same phone as her so I could help her...I really dont want an Iphone and she is adamant she wants one...she said get the android ill be fine

    The question does anyone use apple thats used android and is it that much different, is it harder or easier to learn..

    Does anyone have the Pixel6 ? and give an opinion

    Oh by the way for my fellow old geezers and ladies...verizon has a plus 55 or 65 not sure which, unlimited data voice text for 80.00 a month for two lines...thats cheaper than anyone else....one thing I do know verizon has the best most reliable service at least in florida...thats a great deal for any of you paying more than that with another carrier...plus you can get a pixel6 buy one get one free and if you have a trade you can get them both free

    Stay away from Apple.

    I never get flagship phones so I don't know about them. I like my Motorola G Stylus.

    I have a Pixel 2 xl that still runs great even though Google will no longer update it. I'd get little for trade-in.

    "if you have a trade you can get them both free" right if you have a brand new Samsung Galaxy S20(+). Think about it though you're really only getting $500 each for trade-in, it's the two-for-one that's the deal.

    Also, I've had Verizon for close to 2 years and never an issue.

    I have a prepaid cellphone. (I pay $75 per year--typically in March--and that $75 more than pays for a year's service, as I use my landline phone much more than I use my cellphone.)

    (Oddly, the TV dramas that I regularly watch refer to these as "burner" phones--as if there were something inherently nefarious about them. But that is a bit like blaming the gun for the murder--rather than blaming the person who pulled the trigger.)

    Thats true with the pixel but I do get the more expensive Apple 13 Pro both free and they are 1000 each they are giving us a 1000 each on trade

    The whole issue is this chris my wife wants APPLE because 2 of our kids are pushing her to get it telling her how much better it is than android...she has her mind made up and whatever she decides to do she does...I want to get what she gets ill learn it faster and be able to help her...I cant do that if I get the pixel6

    They are giving us a full 30 days to try the Iphone 13 pro we can bring them back to the store no strings attached and get the same trade in on anything else.

    I had a motorola I forget which one it was a while ago, it was terrible. I had a pixel 3 which I liked but it broke thats when I got the samsungs..I had the 3 a good while I got it when it first came out they still had some 2s at discount

    I went from an iphone 6 to a iphone 12 pro and while i like the phone hardware wise, it has been the worst actual cellphone i have ever had to use. Reception strength and signal all far worse then my 10 year older 6. Only thing i changed was updating the phone but i constantly get no reception in areas i use to never have issues before. I have also tried the 5g to 4g trick i have read about but it doesn't seem to help. Iphone 12 great phone as long as you don't need to use it as a actual phone to call someone lol .

    I have the iPhone 11X Pro. Love it. No learning involved.
